Martin Solveig: +1

 A piece of electro-house by Martin Solveig, with a new video for the track +1.

The track features Sam White was unveiled on Beatport last week.

His track Intoxicated gave him a hit in France earlier this year, reaching the top 20.

His last full album was 2011's Smash, which produces a string of international hits including Hello and Ready to Go.

Solveig has weekly dates in Ibiza over the summer, as well as dates around Europe and some further afield in Las Vegas and Chicago.

Martin Solveig: Intoxicated

A new track by French DJ Martin Solveig, the DJ/producer  behind the massive hit Hello and the album Smash.

The track Intoxicated comes out ahead of the release of his fifth album.

Smash provided a number of international hits with songs like The NIght Out and a series of memorable videos, featuring locations like Stade de France and Roland Garros tennis stadium.

In the years since the release of Smash, Solveig was one of the producers involved in Madonna's MDNA album and working with her on the subsequent tour.

2013 saw the track Hey Now emerge,  a collaboration with LA act The Cataracs and rapper Kyle.

For his first show in 2015, Solveig is scheduled to play at the Coachella festival in California in April.

No video as yet for the new song, which becomes available for download from Monday, but it will hopefully be something as equally memorable as the ones from Smash

 

Martin Solveig - Big in Japan

A new video from Martin Solveig, Big in Japan, the latest to come from this Smash album.

Like his earlier song Hello it features the vocals of Canadian electro-pop act Dragonette.

The video continues the "story" begun with the Hello video, which came out last year and continued with the Initials S.H.E. video, previewing tracks from the Smash album, and the Ready 2 Go video, released earlier this year.

Both were massive international hits, hello reaching the top ten in ten countries, and number one in several charts, Ready 2 go although not reaching such peaks still reaching the US Billboard top 50 and the top 20 in France and the UK Dance charts.

Solveig has been named as one of the producers of Madonna's next studio album. It's a big break for Solveig to be working with such a massive selling artist.

I've always thought that Madonna's career has been as much about her choosing her collaborators well than about her own talent, so I'm sure he'll have a big influence on her sound.

It also comes at a time when she'll be keen to retain her Queen of Pop title, with Lady Gaga seemingly taking on the role of biggest female figure in the music world without too much opposition.

Whether this is the last chapter of Smash I don't know, but one thing that is certain is that Solveig is a bigger star now than his 'manager' Lafaille would ever have hoped for in the videos.
